Characterization and treatment of oily sludge: A systematic review.

Oily sludge is a prevalent hazardous waste generated in the petroleum industry, and effectively treating it remains a key challenge for the petroleum and petrochemical sectors. This paper provides an introduction to the origin, properties, and hazards of oil sludge while summarizing various treatment methods focused on reduction, recycling, and harmlessness. These methods include combustion, stabilization/solidification, oxidation and biodegradation techniques, solvent extraction, centrifugation, surfactant-enhanced oil recovery processes as well as freezing-thawing procedures.

Synergistic and attenuated effects and molecular biological mechanisms of Shouhui Tongbian capsule in the treatment of slow transit constipation based on UPLC-MS/MS, network pharmacology and animal experimental validation.

Background: Shouhui Tongbian capsule (SHTB) has been widely used for the treatment of constipation. There are few studies on SHTB at present. The current study aimed to explore the effects of multi-components compatibility of SHTB for efficacy enhancement and toxicity reduction and evaluate its molecular biological mechanisms in the treatment of slow transit constipation (STC).

Using UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS and HPLC-CAD to Identify Impurities in Cycloastragenol, Which Is a Pre-Clinical Candidate for COPD.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a highly prevalent disease that has become the third leading cause of death worldwide. Cycloastragenol (CAG), which is the genuine sapogenin of the main active triterpene saponins in , is a bioavailable pre-clinical candidate for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and it was investigated in our previous study. In order to progress medical research, it was first efficiently produced on a 2.

Pharmacological activities and effective substances of the component-based Chinese medicine of leaves based on serum pharmacochemistry, metabonomics and network pharmacology.

As a potential drug candidate for the treatment of hypertension and complications, it is speculated that the component-based Chinese medicine of leaves (GBCCM) which mainly composed of flavonoid aglycones (FAs) and terpene lactones (TLs) may have different pharmacological effects at different doses or ratios. Taking the normal mice as the study object, metabonomics was conducted by giving different doses of GBCCM. Based on the components of GBCCM absorbed into the blood, the network pharmacological prediction was carried out.

Shouhui Tongbian Capsules induce regression of inflammation to improve intestinal barrier in mice with constipation by targeted binding to Prkaa1: With no obvious toxicity.

Constipation arising from the poor bowel movement is a rife enteric health problem. Shouhui Tongbian Capsule (SHTB) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) which effectively improve the symptoms of constipation. However, the mechanism has not been fully evaluated.

MS/MS-Based Molecular Networking: An Efficient Approach for Natural Products Dereplication.

Natural products (NPs) have historically played a primary role in the discovery of small-molecule drugs. However, due to the advent of other methodologies and the drawbacks of NPs, the pharmaceutical industry has largely declined in interest regarding the screening of new drugs from NPs since 2000. There are many technical bottlenecks to quickly obtaining new bioactive NPs on a large scale, which has made NP-based drug discovery very time-consuming, and the first thorny problem faced by researchers is how to dereplicate NPs from crude extracts.

Jingfang Granules improve glucose metabolism disturbance and inflammation in mice with urticaria by up-regulating LKB1/AMPK/SIRT1 axis.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Jingfang Granule (JFG) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine prescription to empirically treat skin disease such as urticaria in clinical practice. However, the potential mechanisms of JFG on urticaria are not fully defined.

Aim Of Study: The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms of JFG in treating urticaria through an OVA/aluminum hydroxide induced urticaria mice model.

Probing the separation mechanism of solid-liquid components in oily sludge and sludge containing polymers for a harmless treatment process of sludge.

In this study, the compositions of oily sludge and sludge containing polymers were analyzed. Sludge was separated preliminarily by conditioning centrifugal technology, whereby the temperature of the centrifugal process and the amount of oil/water separating agent were optimized. Thermal decomposition technology was combined in order to achieve the efficient treatment of sludge.

Study on Integrated Pharmacokinetics of the Component-Based Chinese Medicine of Leaves Based on Nanocrystalline Solid Dispersion Technology.

Background: To improve the dissolution and bioavailability of the component-based Chinese medicine of leaves (GBCCM), a novel nanocrystalline solid dispersion of GBCCM (GBCCM NC-SD) was first prepared.

Methods: GBCCM mainly containing high pure flavonoid aglycones (FAs) and terpenoid lactones (TLs) was used as the model drug. PVP K30 and SDS were used as solubilizers, combined stabilizers and carriers, and GBCCM NC-SD was prepared by high-pressure homogenization combined with freeze-dryer.

Chicoric Acid: Natural Occurrence, Chemical Synthesis, Biosynthesis, and Their Bioactive Effects.

Approaches to Configuration Determinations of Flexible Marine Natural Products: Advances and Prospects.

Flexible marine natural products (MNPs), such as eribulin and bryostatin, play an important role in the development of modern marine drugs. However, due to the multiple chiral centers and geometrical uncertainty of flexible systems, configuration determinations of flexible MNPs face great challenges, which, in turn, have led to obstacles in druggability research. To resolve this issue, the comprehensive use of multiple methods is necessary.
